jeffrey toobin joins me now live. a lot of uncertainty about what the final margin will look like in ohio. if it is close as the polls indicated, we could get into the situation where the provisional ballots become prime targets for a legal challenge. explain why. >> this is really a bizarre set of laws in ohio. as you mentioned, provisional ballots, that is ballots that their legal status is uncertain, put aside, we know that there will be at least 200,000 of them. and under ohio law, no one looks at those ballots to determine their validity for ten days until november 17th. during those ten days, the people who cast those provisional ballots are allowed to go to the board of elections and make the case that their votes were legal. so if the provisional ballots are dispositive and if ohio is the deciding state, we could have individual voters, each with their own lawyers, going to boards of elections, arguing their case that their votes should count. you can imagine the chaos that might ensue. >> that's not an abstra

let's bring in our senior legal analyst, jeffrey toobin. jeffrey, the early voting legal battles that we're seeing right now, could that foreshadow a bigger problem? >> it sure could because the real legal fights, as in florida in 2000, generally take place after the polls have closed. and two things to keep in mind about those battles, if they happen. one is the candidate who's ahead on election night almost always wins. going in with a lead, no matter how small, as george w. bush did in florida -- >> why is that? >> because there is a psychological component, the court system, the politicians, if you're ahead, it is hard to get it changed. not impossible but being ahead matters. the second point is, the party that controls the political process in the state matters a great deal. everybody may remember catherine harris, the republican secretary of state in florida in 2000. florida and ohio are both run by republicans now. if it comes to a fight in those two states, which are probably the most likely states, the republicans will have a huge

. >> i want to bring in jeffrey toobin to talk about the way they're counting these provisional ballots. could we see if this is a very, very tight race those provisional ballots actually making a difference and tipping the scale? >> it's entirely possible. four years ago there were more than 200,000 provisional ballots. we expect that there will be at least that many this time. the margin between john mccain and barack obama four years ago was 262,000 votes. so that shows how many votes are at stake there. now, it is true, as ali pointed out, that not all those votes count. certainly they don't come in all for one candidate. but the peculiar peculiar aspect of ohio law is that no one starts counting those ballots for ten days, and during those ten days the people who cast those ballots can actually go to the board of elections and sort of make their case lobby to say that their vote should count, that they have good identification. can you imagine the chaos if all those woot-uld-be voters essentially bring a lawyer to have their vote counted and certainly the campaigns will get involve
